Questions:

1. Analyzing my verbs for passivity has been an eye-opener for me. The majority of my verbs do not pop and precisely describe the actions of the controversy's key players. Also there are too many instances of passive voice. Revision is needed!

2. I need to use more precise verbs and less passive voice.
